Building protection from the effect of lightning stroke is one of the most important features. Lightning flash, nature changes with increasing the clearance between the ground structure and the cloud. Providing proper protection to the building, Frankling rod/lightning air terminal is an essential element to receive the lightning flashes in order to make sure the protection of building. In this paper a down scaled building with four lightning rods has been chosen to see how the lightning rods with different air gap and of the building perform, in lightning flash. The building is tested with three different s which are front, back and side s. The lightning rods provided different air gaps/clearance between the plain and the top plate. Single stage impulse generator is used. A voltage up to 90 kv is applied to analyze the lightning flash receiving ability of lightning rods. Through experimental work the lightning flash receiving ability is studied in detail for three s of the down scaled building. Keywords-Lightning flash. Lightning air terminal,lightning protection system. I. INTRODUCTION With the improving technology and global warming, the lightning protection system (LPS) became vital, regarding protection from the effect of lightning. Lightning stroke can damage the building, electronic equipments and different other aspects of life. Lightning flash attraction is very much related with the Frankling rod/lightning air terminal (LAT), depends on the distance from the clouds. This paper mainly concerns with the break down voltage for different air gap of a specific geometrical structure. II. LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM (LPS) LPS have different standards e.g. BS 6652 (British) NFPA 780 (American) IEC These standards explain the protection zone, design and installation method. When direct lightning strikes on human body, it can make serious injury and can even kill the person. Thousands of people have been killed in last few decades due to lightning strikes. Similarly many important properties like oil refinery was hit by lightning stroke [1]. According to the IEC standard , LPS is a comprehensive system, which can reduce the damages to a physical structure due to the lightning stroke. The structure damages could be from the direct lightning strike or from the indirect or side flashes. LPS is divided into internal and external LPS. External LPS receives the lightning flashes through lightning rods, and diffuse it to the earth by down conductor and earth wire. In this way the high current disappears in the ground having low resistance. In the internal LPS lightning protection zone (LPZ) is created to protect the building from the electromagnetic field of the side flashes [2]. For the (LPS) the main component is the Frankling rod. It is a passive device which is installed on the different parts of a building. When lightning occurs there is much probabilty that Fankling rod/lat will receive the lightning flash and in this way the roof of the building DOI /IJSSST.a ISSN: x online, print
2 remains safe. Down conductor and Earth terminal are the essential components of the LPS. Lightning flshes are received by the down conductor and make a channel to the earth terminal where it safely grounds the current [3]. III. LIGHTNING STRIKE DISTANCE AND THE AIR GAP Experimental exploration shows that the negative leader takes place through the negative charge coming down to the ground from the clouds. As these leaders approach the earth it increases the electric field to substantial amount. When the electric field, on the tip of the ground structure value reaches to a critical value it produce an upward positive leader. The lightning strike distance, when the height is 30 m it gives the same result as the IEC, but it differs when the striking distance is decreased. Similarly the connection volume method (CVM) shows the attractive striking distance is much higher than the physically analysed models [4]. During the laboratory work, when the voltage test takes place for different air gap, normally inverted rod-plane method is used. By performing this, a plate is used as overhead plane, while the rod is kept on the ground. When the impulse is applied it energises the plate with negative potential and the rod which is on zero potential, produces the upward positive leader. The electric field has effect on break down, air gap and the streamer therefore, it will not be the same for the provided air gap. Positive rod-plan gap can also be considered, but in such case the critical radius size is very important to consider while testing. Similarly it is necessary to keep in consideration the blunt and the sharp tip of rod. Experiments show that blunt rods are more effective in receiving the streamer. The sharp rods make the electric field distance weak around the tip. In the same way sharp tip ionize the air quickly which can increase the distance for creating leaders [5]. F.D Allessendro investigated the electric field intensity for the lightning protection. Different geometrical structures were considered. It was found that field varies as the square root of its height. The field varies much when the structure geometry changes. This investigation showed that the field intensification varies when the rod is placed on the ground and when it is placed on the structure. It also changes with height of the rod [6]. Lightning strike probability could be studied in detail with different arrangement of LAT. The given model explains different arrangement of lightning rods on a structure. The area of the structure is 40 m 40 m area, with 10m rod height taken into observation. Lightning rod in centre and on the four corners showed 100% probability [7]. Structural building material like copper and beam can also be used as protection of building from the lightning. An experimental approach for a remote earth is done for a beam and copper which are down scale. The experimental work investigated that copper is most suitable for protection of building as compare to the beam [8]. IV. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE To test the object experimentally, a down scale building model is used. The building is down scaled according to the IEEE standard equation D=10I The down scaled building has lightning rods at every corner with a certain height. For the experimental test negative rod plain method is used, which is a plate on some distance from the plain. A single stage impulse generator is used to see the performance of the lightning rods regarding its receiving the lightning flashes. Figure 1 : Model of the down scaled building The impulse generator has 1.2/50us rise and decay time respectively. The generator is consists of circuitry having diodes, resistors, capacitor and other equipments. D.C voltage up to 90 kv was applied, which gives different break down value in the form of impulse voltage for the different s of the down scaled model in terms of experimental approach. The model is tested for three different s with the same number of lightning rods. The down scaled model is connected to the ground inside the experimental lab. Similarly the rods arrangement is diagonal as (1, 3) and (2, 4). V. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS To analyse the lightning rods performance of the down scaled building, three different s of the model have been selected, which are front, back and side s. The air gap for all three s between the plate and the plain is 2 to 4 cm. All the three s are experimentally tested to analyse the rods performance for different air gaps. For each air gap, the test is revised ten times and the average value is calculated which is given in the tabular form. The figures and the table given in this paper can provide a reasonable explanation of the test setup. The experimental results are based on front, back and side with 2 to 4 cm air gap. A. Lightning Rods Performance for 2 cm Air Gap The air gap initially taken is 2 cm for all three s to analyze the performance of lightning rod with same arrangement. The object is selected for 2 cm air gap DOI /IJSSST.a ISSN: x online, print
3 between plain and the plate to study the performance of lightning air terminal (LAT). The voltage is increased gradually at the interval of 10 kv to study in detail. The 2 cm air gap is selected for three s of the down scaled model which are front, back and side. When the top plate gets energized with negative charge it break the charge between plain and rod and the break down occurs. This break down voltage changes with changing the air gap. Similarly the input voltage which is impulse voltage is also different for every of the down scaled building. On the base of impulse voltage, the rod performance is analyzed to see which of the model receives more lightning flash. Table1explains the air gap, D.C voltage and impulse voltage in k V and corresponding current value which is obtained after ten readings. The table also shows the stricken rods at the provided air gap. Fig, 3, and explain the value of applied D.C voltage and impulse voltage in kv with the value of the current. The graph is obtained after the 10 readings for every structural. There is a little difference between D.C and Impulse voltage. From this experimental study it is also clear that the test is performed for high voltage and low current according to the specification of the impulse current generator provided by high voltage lab.

Lightning Rods Performance for 4 cm Air Gap To analylse the lightning rod prformane for 4cm air gap the same model is tested for the three of the down scaled model of the building. Table 3 shows the receiving performance of the lightning rods at 4 cm air gap between the plain and plate. The voltage required for the air break down of the 4 cm is more also the lightning flash receiving pattern is also different. It could be seen clearly that the lightning receiving is almost like the natural of lightning stroke.

COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS RESEARCH Previously the researchers have come out to check the performance of LAT on high scale with a big distance between the cloud and the ground. That work is considered for the protection of building on large scale. Similarly, the diameter as well as the height, of the LAT varied. This research is based on the small scaled building as well as DOI /IJSSST.a ISSN: x online, print
6 with the same height of LAT having the same diameters. This research is performed under the ambient condition of pressure, temperature and humidity. The undergoing as for the LAT performance. This research considers those buildings, which have the lower height while normally the research is carried out on the tall objects and buildings. VII. DISCUSSION Lightning causes damages in building and other structures. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Tropical countries like, Malaysia gets a lot of lightning flashes throughout the air. Structures on the earth could be affected directly due to lightning flashes or from indirect lightning which is called side flashes. In both cases buildings are affected when these building are not protected properly from the effect of lightning. Every structure is normally provided rods which are called Frankling rods. These rods are able to receive the lightning flashes and ground it through ground conductor and earth wire. In this paper the performance of lightning rods is studied in detail. The building is down scaled and four lightning rods are installed on it. Through experimental approach it is observed that lightning rods in different are able to attract the lightning impulse. Among three different s of the building it is analyzed that the rods with side s receive more flashes as compare to the other two s of the building model. Through experimental work the attraction performance could be enhanced more to make sure the protection of the building from the lightning stroke. The buildings in particular are needed to be protected as building have much height and the building in tropical countries are on high risk. In the same way structure which is sensitive also needs proper protection. The receiving capability of flashes should be enhanced more.

CONCLUSION The performance of receiving the impulse voltage or the lightning flash has been studied in detail in this paper. The test is performed in the High Voltage laboratory of. The down scaled building is divided into three s regarding the performance of the lightning rods. The four lightning rods have shown their capability of receiving the impulse voltage. From the experiments it is concluded that among the three side has the good ability of receiving more flashes at different air gaps between the plain and the top plate. It is analyzed that any building could be make safe if the arrangement of the rods is proper as well as the rods are installed according to the standard. During these experiments it is clear that rods with the side have more ability to receive more flashes. By making the experimental approach more organized the rods could make more effective.
